have to get a head coaching job at the G5 level. He gets fired and has the opportunity to stay in the P4 and from the sounds of it get a pay raise. And the idea that this place is a bottom feeder or completely in the gutter is also false. VT is down and has been slow to adapt but it is still looked at favorably by a lot of people in regards to football. If Franklin really thinks about this, VT is by far the best fit and best opportunity for him to succeed. LSU and Florida are not hiring a just fired Big 10 coach who couldn't win the big game and Auburn is a big risk because of who you play and the expectations. He can come to VT win 9 to 10 games a year and beat UVa and will all be ecstatic. And if he does rebuild VT then a blue blood may be willing to hire him away from us if he desires to be at that level.
